Parents and Friends of ExGays and Gays: Ask your library to order ex-gay books

adding books to the collection
Dear sir (or ma’am),

Thank you for your recent letter regarding suggestions of titles for the Library to add to our collection. I can assure you that this list is important to us in determining the needs of the community.

However, due to recent budget cuts, the Library is currently limiting the purchase of new titles other than recent Best-sellers and research materials being demanded of students by the local high schools.

If you would like to donate new copies of any of the titles on the list, we would be happy to consider adding them to the collection. A copy of our ‘gift books’ policy is included with this letter (or attached with this email).

Sincerely,

“The Director”

ah the usual
B.S.

It has been proven that homosexuality has a large genetic component.

What those who attempt to argue against this leave out of the genetic component is the genetic characteristic of variance. That is that sexual leaning elements of the genetic characteristics have a “range”, much in the same way that everyone who has blue eyes does not have the exact same color blue eyes. There is a genetic variation in genetic component of sexuality that contains “degrees’ in which the sexuality leans in one direction or the other, and past a certain tipping point, the person leans towards either a strong heterosexual leaning, or a strong homosexual leaning and once past this tipping point, no environmental effects can change this leaning in any way.

In fact, there is much evidence that homosexuality has some positive reason for existing. For some reason, homosexuality seems to be a method to limit reproduction. Either because of some degree of “overpopulation” that exists in a place, or because of some other geentic reason that exists to limit the persons with that particular genetic component from reproducing because it is linked to other
genetic characteristics.

The attempts to prove that homosexuality does no have a genetic component are largely the result of “pseudoscience” of the same sort that has dinosaurs and men living at the same time. It also relies on the same sort of techniques by which Nazi’s attempted to prove that certain ethnicities were “inferior” races. Basically entire false sciences were created to attempt to create these assertions. The religious assertions are anachronisms which are particular to the areas in which the religions developed. For example, in the patriachal Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, sanctions against male homosexulaity are mentioned, but they are silent about lesbianism, which is not mentioned in any way. If ALL homosexuality were bad, or sinful, mention of both male and female homosexuality would most certainly crop up in the scripture of these religions, but it does not.

Most of the assertions that homosexuality is not genetic tends to come from scientists who start from a particular position, ignoring large portions of the science of genetic and environmental effects on genetic tendencies. That is some genetic tendencies lie dormant until triggered by some external factor like population, viruses, etc. Environmental triggers to genetic tenencies are many and widely distributed.

Every group has its dark underbelly
The heterosexual group has an underbelly than is far larger and darker than anything the heterosexual community is being accused of, and in fact, in many case is not even guilty of. Most of the assertions about gays are similar to the assertions about Jews and Homosexuals during the Nazi era, they are simply more subtle. For years the primary methods of “curing” homosexuals, even in modern western world, would be considered torture by any devout Christian who was subjected to the same efforts to cure them of Christian beliefs by Soviet Medical Science, which viewed religion, and in particular Christianity as a “disease”

Every society has groups its more conservative elements reject, and they have always used the same argument in the rejection.
